Answer:
The Declaration of Independence, which was ratified and signed by the Second Continental Congress in 1776, and which established not just the reasons as to why the American colonies sought to break their union with their motherland, also proposed the principles that not only gave them reason to desire the freedom from British rule, but also became the bedrock foundations of the new nation. These principles arose from the beliefs that men are all created equal and thus are equal in the eyes of the Creator and that as such, they enjoy a certain number of Rights that cannot be denied by anyone, including a king. Among the three most important principles established by the Declaration of Independence, and which became the pillars of the U.S Constitution later on were: the right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. From these three principles, then, the Declaration went on to explain the right of the people to be justly governed, and to have these rights ensured by their forms of government. It also established the right of the people to seek changes when a government system did not protect, and ensure, their basic rights.
The U.S Constitution, which was ratified in 1788, became the very way in which the principles and ideals of the Declaration were put into action by the new government. In three specific ways did the U.S Constitution adopted the principles set by the Declaration of Independence, in its preamble. First, it states the fact that all men are created equal and thus are empowered by their Creator with unalienable rights. Second, it also affirms that these basic rights are to be ensured and protected by the very law of the land. And third, it also states that among the basic rights of all people, three stand out and will be the very rock on which American law will stand: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
The first Europeans to purchase furs from Indians were French and English fishermen who, during the 1500s, fished off the coast of northeastern Canada and occasionally traded with the Indians. In exchange, the Indians received Eurpean-manufactured goods such as guns, metal cooking utensils, and cloth.
Anti-Federalists opposed a big government and making a new constitution, they wanted to keep the weak Articles of Confederation which granted little to no power to the central government.
When the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights were created, many Anti-Federalists did not agree with them, at first anyway. It granted a lot of power to the government which wasn't there previously and many Anti-Federalists were scared that something with Great Britain would happen again, "<em>taxation without representation</em>" and abusive laws.
Anti-Federalists also felt like it was needed that if the government became corrupt or abused their power, the people should have the right to overthrow it. This is where the Second Amendment ties into.
The Second Amendment, the right to bear arms, was very important to the Anti-Federalists, even to the Federalists and the American people in general. The American people could keep their weapons and not let their guard down around the government, they had a way to protect themselves in case of downfall or if the government started to abuse their power.
